IN JUSTICES HALLS.
A Receiver Asked for p. III. Drum
EState-NfinOr Matters.

Estate-MinOr Matters.
Some time ago Mr.. Mackay, of Mac
kay & Drum, West Third street, carriage
manufacturers, brought suit for dissO-
luton of partnership, alleging that his
partner, Patrick III. Drum, was addicted
to liquor and inattention to business.
As result the partnership was dis
solved. Yesterday petitions were filed
by NOyeS Bros. Il Cutler and the Seven
Corners bank for a restraining order,
and for the appointment of receiver
for the estate of MIR. Drum. The failure
of Mr.. Drum arose out of the execution
levied for large amount of money in
favor of the United States Carriage Co.
The petitions will probably be heard by
Judge Brill, Saturday, at the special
term.
David Loughlin, who states that he
has been in st. Paul for year, and that
he and Annilene LoughIin were mar
ried in County Down, ireland. Nov. Is,
1878, has commenced suit for divorce
from his wife. He charges his wife
with adultery with John Mcclure, in
Ireland, between the years of 1879 and
and 1885; that she deserted her husband
in 1879 and became the mother of illegit-
innate children. Both are twenty-eight
years old.
BEHIND THE CALENDAR.
The Jury calendar of the district court
is at present about twenty-five eases be-
hind, with the prospect that by next
Monday the number will be nearer
fifty. The judges are seriously cOnsid-
ering the scheme of reSetting all the
cases forward one week, as this seems
TO be about the only way of doing away
with the necessity of compelling attor-
news, parties and witnesses in cases set
for certain days in the future to dance
attendance upon the court from day to
| day. The business of this term thor
oughly demonstrates that there is an ur-
gent necessity for an additional judge
and more court rooms. Even Judge
Wilkin, who is the only judge not act
lively engaged in the trial of cases at the
present time, could assist i'll the trial of
the Jury cases but there is no court room
that he could use; and, aside from this
fact, it is absolutely necessary that one
Judge should be at liberty to give atten-
ton to applications for orders, hearing
cases on the special term calendars and
the miscellaneous business of the court
generally. The present term calendar
| is the largest in the history of the court,
and there is larger percentage OF the
cases on it actually for trial. The pres
ent prospect is that this term will run
up to the opening of the January term
| and that there will still be number OF
the cases on this calendar untried.
